Chapter 336

Upon hearing such news, everyone either sat or stood where they were, eyes vacant, their worldview once again taking a fierce blow.

For a moment, they found it somewhat impossible to digest such earth-shattering news.

Although they had already speculated about the world's shattering, they had never imagined that the original world had actually undergone a great war that caused it to split apart.

But...

Just what kind of war was it?

One must understand that the world is not limited solely to the world they inhabit; if one counts the Grand Line and other otherworldly fragments, connected together, then the entire world would expand to an unprecedented vastness.

Such a magnificent world of fuel-powered vehicles, and yet it split apart because of a war!

Then just how terrifying must that war that triggered the world's shattering have been!

At this moment, everyone's head was in a dazed state, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

"Then... who exactly triggered this war, and who joined this war."

After coming back to his senses, Makarov immediately asked.

Not only he, but the people beside him also cared greatly.

A war cannot be triggered without reason; there must be some factor at play.

This was not a simple war—it swept across the entire world, even causing it to shatter—something must have happened within it.

However, faced with this question, Aizen was also unable to answer.

"Regarding matters from a thousand years ago, I don't know either. I looked through many books in Soul Society and found not a single clue."

"The intelligence about a thousand years ago was still told to us by the Spirit King himself."

Seeing that Aizen was also unable to answer, neither Makarov nor Ogre doubted him.

The former Hu Zi had once said that historical rifts existed in every world, indicating that it was not only their world—others might also have such situations.

Ogre asked: "Then according to Mr. Aizen, what exactly are the abilities of the 'Great Will' fragments, and why do the otherworlders, including Hu Zi, want to obtain the fragments?"

It had to be said that after such a long conversation, Ogre's question was truly hitting the nail on the head, asking the key point.

The mysterious power contained within the 'Great Will' fragments, which drove so many otherworlders mad and made them willing to wage war to obtain it—no one would not be curious about it.

"In fact, preventing the 'Great Will' fragments from falling into the hands of evil people is also one of our Shinigami's regular duties."

"This time we came also to prevent the 'Great Will' fragments from falling into evil hands; regarding news of the fragments..."

"Enough, Aizen."

After a pause, just as Aizen was about to open his mouth to say something, Toushirou, who was seated on his other side, suddenly spoke up again to stop him.

"Some matters... it is better that they do not know."

Before the others could say anything, Ichimaru Gin, who had been quietly standing in a corner and had never spoken, slowly spoke up.

"Yes, even we find that kind of thing hard to resist; we cannot guarantee that their hearts can withstand the temptation of knowing."

"If one cannot control one's inner self before the fragments, one might very well become an enemy."

"If we were to act against them, I suppose you wouldn't want to see that happen either."

In the blink of an eye, a sense of heaviness suddenly enveloped the entire room.

The oppressive atmosphere mixed with this spiritual pressure caused all the mages present to feel a sudden weight on their hearts, their breathing somewhat difficult.

But the more it was like this, the more it attracted the curiosity of everyone present.

Something so powerful that even people as strong as them find it hard to resist—what exactly is this 'Great Will'?

"Toushirou, Gin, if there are matters to bear, let me bear them. And as the masters of this world, they also have the right to know this intelligence."

At this moment Aizen spoke up. Although his expression was calm, clearly having been interrupted while speaking repeatedly, this Aizen who looked like a good-natured person also showed a hint of anger.

"Mr. Aizen, if the following conversation will cause trouble for your companions, then let's stop here."

Although Makarov also very much wanted to know the intelligence about the 'Great Will' fragments, considering the Fapingyi Society's current situation and the relationship between both sides, he ultimately took the initiative to step forward and mediate.

And along with Makarov stepping forward, Toushirou and Ichimaru Gin also dispersed their spiritual pressure, and the invisible oppressive atmosphere also dissipated considerably.

"My apologies for the unseemly display."

Seeing this, Aizen smiled apologetically.

"It's fine, Mr. Aizen being able to tell us this much already makes us very happy........"

At this, Makarov and Ogre showed understanding smiles.

Although it was somewhat regrettable, in fact, if not for Aizen, they would still be completely unaware of this matter.

Being able to know so much inside information and history was already enough for them.

As for the situation regarding the 'Great Will' fragments, they could completely ask Aizen about it at some other time later.

"Oh right!"

Just at this moment, Erza suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Aizen, you just said, 'you came to the present world this time for the 'Great Will' fragments'—what does that mean?"

Perhaps Aizen's news was too shocking; the people who had just come back to their senses only now recalled that Aizen seemed to have said that the three of them had also come for the 'Great Will'.

"Yes, we received an assignment from the Spirit King to come to this world to search for the 'Great Will' fragments, to prevent them from falling into evil hands."

Aizen did not deny it and directly admitted it, and immediately everyone's eyes flickered with a gleam.

Although they were unclear what the 'Great Will' fragments represented, this did not hinder their yearning for the 'Great Will'.

"Tch, not letting us know, yet going to find it yourselves—as if you're so noble."

Upon hearing this, Natsu couldn't help but complain.

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, Natsu, who had just complained, received Erza's punishment.

"Don't mind this guy, Mr. Aizen, please continue."

After a small interlude, Aizen paused and then continued speaking.

"In fact, our coming to reality this time is also related to you."

"Related to us?"

"What's going on?!"

As Aizen's words fell, the eyes of the crowd went blank for a moment, some not understanding the meaning in Aizen's words.

"Wait…"

"Could it be that…"

However, within a few seconds Lucy was the first to react, looking at Aizen with an excited expression as she spoke.

"Does Mr. Aizen mean that a fragment of the 'Great Will' has appeared at our location?!"

"What!"

Like a stone, stirring up a thousand layers of waves.

"That's right."

But just as Lucy finished speaking, Aizen also directly admitted it, and almost in an instant the entire room boiled over.
